Is there anything more exciting....

Ha ha, I've never seen a stiffer crock on a football pitch than Sprockle. He ran like he had a bad case of sciatica.

Sciatica is being generous, I'm sure the general description on here was that he ran like he had just sh!t himself!

You always knew something (good or bad) would happen when Marcel Cas’s name was on the team sheet!

This begs for a best foreigners XI...

Avramovic (sorry, Kaspar)

Lahtinen
Dijkstra
Jacobson
Murphy

Cas
Garcia
???
Chiedozie

Farina (for all of one game)
Joseph

I hope I’ve overlooked some great players - so not Emenalo or Declan Edge - but I’m struggling to think of any others (David Joseph only gets in the team because he’s the only other foreign forward I could remember other than Eugene Dadi).

There were three foreign players at Notts when I first started going games (Raddy, Lahtinen and Chiedozie plus Harkouk who qualified to play for Algeria), it was three years before we signed a new one who wasn't Irish, so the first new foreign player I ever saw was Declan Edge. We didn't sign another one until Frank Farnina in 1992. As far as non-English speaking nations go, there were none I can think of between Lahtinen and Dijkstra, a whole decade.

In answer to the original question, in terms of quick excitement then a last minute winner. In the FA Cup.

I do get very excited by signings like this tho.

Does Vinny Arkins count ??

The excitement when Harkouk was in the Mexico 86 Panini album for me was unsurpassed and when I actually got him in a packet I was a little over whelmed. Still got the album somewhere.

Dean Thomas felt like an exotic signing at the time because he'd played in Germany.

We had a player in the 50s called Ted Robledo who signed from a club in Chile.
